For detailed information on the device operation in the stackable mode, see Item 5.6.
4.3.2 Initial Configuration
Initial configuration is performed via the device console port. By performing the initial
configuration, you can configure various management access methods. You can change the console port
mode or enable the remote access through available interfaces and control protocols.
The following initial configuration examples include the following settings:
1. Creation of administrator account with the username 'admin' and the password 'pass' and the
maximum priority level 15.
2. Configuration of the static IP address and the gateway address for the switch management
network.
3. SNMP protocol management settings configuration.
4. Configuration for obtaining IP address from DHCP server.
5. SNMP protocol settings configuration
Username and password are required for login during the device administration sessions. Use the
following commands to create a new system user or configure the username, password, or privilege level:
console(config)# username name password password privilege {1-15}
Privilege level 1 allows to access the device, but denies its configuration. Privilege level 15
allows both the access and configuration of the device.
Example of commands for assigning eltex password for admin user and creation of operator
user with pass password and the privilege level 1:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# username admin password eltex
console(config)# username operator password pass privilege 1
console (config) # exit
console#
